My I robot roomba flashes 3 times in a row on charger

I bought Roomba 560 and love it. It didn?t come with a lighthouse so I bought one on Ebay. When I put the batteries in it the green light on top flashes 5 or 6 time very quick and then stops, it doesn?t flash after that. When placed in front of the Roomba in either mode, virtual wall or lighthouse it doesn?t direct the Roomba. The question is, is there a process to marry the two units together or do you think the lighthouse is defective?
Thank you

Use a multimeter to test if it is actually putting out a charge. Is this a regular roomba charger with the green led on top? And it just doesnt light up anymore? If so then the pack is dead. replace it. ...

My Roomba 4210 plays the dead battery song 10 seconds after I press Clean, Spot or Max. But I notice that I can put my roomba in diagnostic mode (with brushes, wheels etc) for long periods of time with plenty of strong power. Why won't it clean for more than five seconds without that dreadful tune, flashing power light and an amber status light?

My robot will not charge. Tried multiple resets and new battery from irobot.com (both suggested by Irobot customer service) but got nowhere. The vacuum did work for a short time (until the new partially charged battery ran out). If I bypass the internal charging circuits and charge directly from the charger (with jumpers)
the robot seems to work fine. Unfortunatey, there is no mechanism to turn off the charge cycle, so this is not practical.

Roomba scheduler Roomba goes to charger, charges, then looses charge before it can be run again. The charge also takes six or more hours. The unit has only been used 4 times. Any help? Thank you, Cynthia Murphy.

Any suggestions?

Battery charge I just purchased a new battery pack insert for my Roomba, Replacement
was a breeze and it now works great. My question is; The last battery I
bought ( not from you) was a full cased roomba battery pack that didn't
last a year. Roomba says leave the r Roomba charging all the time so
it's ready when you need it, and that's nice but I feel that leaving it
charging like that it will kill the battery faster as it is always warm
to the touch. These battery's should last at least 5

I have 2 #560 roombas. They both beep 9 times. I have replaced batteries and also cleaned the bumpers several times. Why does it beep 9 times?

I have a Roomba 560 (it's still in warranty !!) and, after my summer vacation, it has a problem.
When I'm charging Roomba, the orange light blinks (and this is normal!) but this orange blinking continues forever.... the light doesn't change to green.
If I detach Roomba from the charger, the light become green and it works normally until the light changes to red and I have to charge it again.
WHY, DURING THE CHARGING PHASE, THE LIGHT DOESN'T CHANGE FROM ORANGE-BLINKING TO GREEN?
